Cafe Phipps has some of the best food in walking distance of CMU's campus. We take many of our visitors here for lunch.
It is nearly impossible to have an unhealthy or bad tasting meal here. They serve delicious, healthy, organic, local, and fresh ingredients. The menu consists of sandwiches, salads, and soups, and you can get combinations of those. There are vegan options and gluten-free options. For someone with allergies who is trying to eat healthy, it's a dream come true. Don't be afraid to try something new--they get it right here--from quinoa pasta to vegan sandwiches.
They even have a children's menu! The side dishes: a small serving of a fruit AND a veggie. A mom's dream!
Great atmosphere. Clean, modern, hip. Living plants on every table.
They even encourage composting and recycling such that finding an actual "trash" can is nearly impossible.
